CJI Surya Kant to Preside Over NLSIU Convocation on October 17 After Earlier Cancellation
The National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, has confirmed that Chief Justice of India Surya Kant will preside over its 34th annual convocation on October 17, 2026. The ceremony, featuring theatre artist Arundhati Nag as chief guest, follows the cancellation of the originally scheduled September 12 event due to student and alumni opposition to the participation of CJI Surya Kant and Bar Council of India Chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra. The university had initially planned to award degrees in absentia but later reinstated the convocation.
